The Super Truck That Shook Ford Is Calling It A Career After Just Four Model Years

For various reasons, it’s been speculated that 2024 would be the final production year of the Ram 1500 TRX in its current form. Stellantis has been pushing to phase out the legendary Hemi V8 engine, replacing it with the Hurricane Inline-6 engine that was recently released. Providing more fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and, in most cases, more power than the Hemi. With regard to the former two benefits, that means less fines that Stellantis would have to pay to the government for (ironically) building vehicles that people want to buy. Unfortunately, what the people want does not appear to be in line with what politicians want. In this climate, Ram have announced the 2024 Ram 1500 TRX 6.2L Supercharged V8 Final Edition, which will give the legendary supertruck a proper send-off.

With an updated Ram 1500 on the horizon, DT Ram 1500 TRX production will conclude at the end of 2023. The Ram TRX stunned the automotive world when it debuted in 2020 as a 2021 model, setting a new benchmark for power and off-road performance among half-ton pickup trucks with the help of the 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 engine. Moreover, its original MSRP came in at just just over $70,000 USD, making it an absurd bargain for what it is. However, its starting price has since jumped nearly $25,000 in just three years.

The advent of the Ram TRX could be credited to inspiring the Ford F-150 Raptor R, which was the rival automaker’s response to being leapfrogged by the Hellcat truck. The 700 hp Raptor R starts at nearly $110,000 USD at the time of this writing, still quite a bit more than the starting price of the TRX.

Zac's love for cars started at a young age, after seeing the popular Eleanor from Gone In 60 Seconds. From there, fascination and enthusiasm blossomed and to this day the Ford Mustang remains a favorite. His first job started out detailing cars, but also provided the opportunity to work on restoration including an 1968 Ford Mustang, Pontiac Firebird, and a C3 Corvette, though he left that job before further work and experience could be had. From there, he was a detailer at a car dealership before quitting that job to try and finish college.

Much of his free time while studying was spent watching YouTube videos regarding new cars, or off-roading. 4WD247 is a personal favorite channel which rekindled a dying flame in car enthusiasm, now tailored towards trucks and SUVs and the fun that can be had building up an overlanding rig, and going on adventures, though, that chapter remains unwritten for the time being.
